Preached by Fr. James Dowds, C.Ss.R. and Fr. Kevin O'Neil, C.Ss.R, our mission invited us to reflect on the deepest hungers of our hearts: hungers for meaning, life, relationships, and love - really hungers for God. In the Eucharist, Jesus nourishes these hungers and teaches us how to live and to nourish one another through self-giving love.
